Low Winter Son
I kick away the leaves
uncover the carved stones
And reading your names again
I let those feelings flood in
The two of you rest together
laid deep beneath the earth
There’s a tree that grows above you
and here’s me, treading my own winter
Life was in wealth, awhile
but I’ve been chasing that warmth
for three decades now
I’m tired and my body aches
There will be fireworks tonight

Us
I sang a song
upon that hill
wishing you would hear
but the trees and birds
were all that heard
for you were nowhere near
I raised a note
so full of hurt
up to the heavens high
and without you,
I laid my pain
upon that midnight sky
I cursed the stars,
forevermore
my words so black with hate
but they cursed back
and left me ...

Birdsong
i’d lock myself up
so sealed away
in a tower, high up in the sky
away from all else
bleak, sorrowful peace
would give my own tears
time to dry
i could wake up alone
in this castle of hurt
and feel my dreams fade away
but the scene about us
where you stand at my side
is the one i still dream
to this day
i could hear the birds sing
as...

Tearboats
Cry me a river
so I know you can feel
the heartache which splits me apart
in hopes you will come
with a stick of glue
get me that violin
and sing me a song
for I’d play,
until my fingers fell off
just to hear you sing along
or come kiss me goodnight
bless me with your gentle touch
and look at me with those glittering stars
so I may fall asleep

Rosebush
I want to drape the page
with memories, love
with wandering thoughts and
painful regret
I want to wonder
what I could be, and would
if I took my words and
made them come true
or is that unwise?
to wish for a change
for the dreams to leave my mind
and join the sunlight around me
I want to climb the tallest mountains
and trees
I would fall i...

Moon
" Hello moon," can you help heal this broken heart
Can you take away the pain of the one I've lost?
The waves crashed loud, my heart beat fast, tears fell down my cheeks as I cried,
"Hello moon" can you help heal this broken heart
Can you take away the pain of the one I've lost?
My feet touched the ocean waves as the moon shined bright on my teary face
I just want to let her go, ...

Stains
once stood a great warrior
of malice and pride
with no battle too bloody
for his hungering eyes
his blade, sharp and stained
stood tall at his side
left in its wake
only dead men would lie
then, in the distance
that red, setting sun
gave a glimpse to the man
of the deeds he had done
the crimson and black
was all he could see
he saw not the...

Shorebreak
the waves, with their
inviting rhythm
unwavering in their steady assault
offering solace in the overwash
they will beat you senseless
throw you around without a
secound thought
like a doll
ragged, aching
the waves, with their
impregnable rhythm
neither merciful nor sudden
the pain, at least
you can expect
while the scintillating breeze
carries the...

Fragments Of Suffering
She had been suffering,
The broken relationships
under the cracked memoirs
Bones almost plundered
With the fearful hopes,
anxious, doubtful all the way
So I slowed down a little bit,
With fragments of kisses
With delicate touches
of makeover trials
With the letters denote
something like love or etc.
Smell of nights,
music of movements
Written...

The Deep Secret
she was talking in undertone
like the old hermits of the
Buddhist Monastery
not to prove any algorithm
or to put forward hypothesis
of social revolution
she was there with her
gentle smile and her bare arms
moving like gentle breeze
not like the smiling bureaucrats
shaking the cold hands
before the secret deals
she was looking around

Is everything okay?
'Is everything okay?' She asked with a sense of duty not care.
This tells me that even the deepest of pains cannot be concealed. Humans know humans.
All those wasted hours I spent on pampering my appearance to hide behind a mask of beauty have been wasted.
My reflection routine of practising the performance of emotions must have been ineffective.
In response I say, ‘yes I’m okay!’ tr...

They See Her Dance
She frolicked between two turquoises,
the sky the sea;
now, on the sandy beach,
in the envelope of a tear,
they see her dance
